// MozMozilla Labs designed the BrowserID experiment to increase user convenience and safety online. Using Mozilla’s Privacy & Data Operating Principles as guidelines, we built a system that seeks to maximize user privacy and control by shrinking the user-data minefield, disclosing information to sites only on a need-to-know basis, employing a model that is intuitive and users understand, and limiting tracking of browsing behavior while also enabling pseudonymity online. For more information, be sure to check out our blog post about privacy and BrowserID, as well as the BrowserID homepage. //

In
1961, Newt Minow — then Chairman of the Federal Communications
Commission — delivered a landmark speech to the National Association of
Broadcasters on "Television and the Public Interest," in which he
described television programming as a "vast wasteland" and advocated
for public interest programming. Fifty years later Newt Minow — and a
slate of distinguished guests — reflect upon the changed landscape of
television and dramatic shifts in the broader media ecosystem, and
identify lessons learned that may help to offer insight into the next
50 years of media and public discourse.
Guests include Harvard
Law School Dean Martha Minow, Ann Marie Lipinski of the Nieman
Foundation, Jonathan Alter of Bloomberg View, Yochai Benkler of Harvard
Law School, as well as Terry Fisher, Yochai Benkler, John Palfrey, and

acclaimed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, Susan Crawford of Cardozo
School of Law, Perry Hewitt of Harvard University, Ellen Goodman of

Technology is transforming privacy and reshaping what it means to be in public. Our interactions—personal, professional, financial, etc.—increasingly take place online, where they are archived, searchable, and easily replicated. Our activities in the physical worlds are digitized by the ubiquitous cameras operated by store-owners, government agencies and our friends, who post and tag pictures of us. We share our location both deliberately, via social media updates, and inescapably, via our location-aware telephones.
Discussions of privacy often focus solely on the question of how to protect privacy. But a thriving public sphere, whether physical or virtual, is also essential to society. The balance of social mores and personal freedom in these spaces is what makes cooperation and collective action possible.
Design reflects a society’s beliefs about private and public life. A city with welcoming parks, plazas and verandas expresses a public culture – and one where blank garage-door walls line empty streets does not. Yet design is also an agent of change. New media are our new public forums and the design of their interfaces affects what people reveal, wittingly or not. Design is essential in making legible the line between private and public, and in showing people the significance of the information they are revealing. Most importantly, in an era in which technology is collapsing the boundaries that maintained our privacy, we must understand how design can promote tolerance. For as our world becomes more public, it is only with heightened tolerance that we can maintain the freedom we value in privacy.
People reshape new spaces and technologies to suit their needs. How do they perceive changing boundaries of private and public? How do they adapt to these changes—or change the technology?
